notes on the independence day (2)

This year I decided not to decorate the neighborhood for our Independence day. I may not want to take the initiative to arrange some games for the children tomorrow. Maybe i'm being most cruel with this decision. Some of them came over last Sunday, asking about another war of es mambo, like last year, and two years ago. Actually, I challenged them: if you all have something in mind and prepare to sweat it, I'll take part. Nobody came up with an idea. I have learned today's children are so fond of getting instant stuff. They are getting more deprived of those do it yourself things. (I wonder when we learned that instant gratification would not get us them very far?) So, we probably won't do anything planned this year. We'll see...
